Art work donations to the ReStore

The ReStore has recently received donations of artwork that may have some value beyond what we would be likely to get by selling these items in the store. An art dealer has advised us on the worth of these items. We plan to put each piece on eBay in the near future.


Two of the pieces are contemporary works. "Little Abstraction" (pictured to the left) by Robert A. Nelson was done in 1981. Mr. Nelson is from Indianapolis. His art has been displayed in at several major museums. "xxx's" done by Sharon Lewkowitz Oran in 1983 is another piece we will be featuring on eBay.


The prize of the group is an oil painting pictured to the right. Habitat is having this one appraised. The painting was done by S. Cederburg. Part of the appraisal will be an attempt to find out who the subject was. If he is someone of some fame or prominence the value of the painting could increase significantly. Even without knowing the man's name we have been told the painting is a valuable piece.

Most of the artwork we sell in the ReStore are framed prints. Typically these sell for $5-15. Many of the people buying prints just want the frames. Selling these pieces of art on eBay will allow the pieces to be purchased by someone who will appreciate the art while allowing us to raise more money than we would receive otherwise.
